What I think fewer and fewer people realise is that often the key to very deep reading is not thought or knowledge but feeling. I read The Sound and the Fury for the first time entirely with my gut, with my emotions, and only later did I go away and analytically confirm what my body had already told me through those primal processes that exist below or under what we think, in the place that causes the stir in the stomach of happiness and the weight in the chest of grief. For this reason, no computer, no system of bells and lights gathering the data of the whole world, can read a book. Only a human who can be in pain and hope for love can read a book.
